The Infidelity Lesson
But the plot thickens.
You tried to tell me before
But I wouldn't listen.
I ignored what you chose to explore
Looking back I discover some quality time was all you were asking for.
I am partially to blame
But it's hard to escape this current pain.
How could you break the trust that bonded us together?
However, I must admit you were giving eighty percent in the relationship
And I was putting forth only twenty.
I am at the bottom inside of my emotions
Sailing across a turbulent ocean.
I was so naïve yet arrogant to believe
You would be faithful solely upon the strength of me being me.
I misunderstood your language of love.
I disregarded your signals to realign our love.
It's too late to change what's already been done.
This is the lesson I must face in the rising sun.
It's unfortunate that I could not see
All the things you were trying to explain to me.
You now have my undivided attention
But to get it
You had to
Cheat on me

Post a CommentDang it would take some major prayers to be able to see this clearly through such a painful event. No rose colored glasses here. This is a well constructed, interesting portrayal.
Love the intensity of this. I've met the infidelity monster and he looks handsome until he suddenly looks like Satan.
I love this one! Very deep!
ouch. i understand that, from both sides of the coin. beautifully done.
well written. Emotionally expressed. fantastic.
Wow. What a well written poem!
This poem captures the range of emotions that people often go through when their partner cheats - from anger to guilt. Nice job!
This is well said, expressing what so many face . . . . upon discovering the difficult truth of deception.
I have been through this - have known for sometime that it was going on before it was confessed to me. It hurts like hell but the best thing - the honest to God best thing to dull the heartache is writing about it. I will go to my grave believing this. Lord knows that I have been writing my heart out.
I truly hope you heal.
Thanks for all of your comments on this poem. This was not written on my personal experience alone. I just wanted to delve into both sides of a difficult and painful subject.
